Left 4 Dead
 
Or the next game for team GT 360.

It has 4 player co-op. And I believe 8 player VS.
It is survival horror and you must work together as a team.
Randomly generated enemy horde.
And I hope a discounted price.

This game is going to be sweet. Go Valve! But some weird company is developing the 360 one but it should still be good.

Wow, that looks great. I'm planning on getting a 360 soon, maybe I'll pick this up.

I must say, this looks pretty interesting, people seem to have kind of superhumanly jumps, but whatever, I love zombies....running ones are scary though.

Nice.
3 new recruits to the campaign.
My plan is coming together.
Purr-fectly.

Some more information since looked at the rest of GT's videos.

Quote:

n the deathmatch "Versus" mode, four additional players can take control of powerful Infected with unique abilities, amongst the other AI-controlled Infected. The playable Infected numbers are limited so players must select their preferred Infected and wait for it to spawn, with the Tank as the exception — it's only playable a few times during each scenario. The Infected have the ability to see survivors through the walls at a certain range if the survivors are running, with the flashlight on, or talking. The Infected can also see in the dark, unlike the Survivors. Infected spawn ahead of the Survivors and can, if they stay still, see a marker for their likely path of advance so they can set up ambushes. Throughout levels, Infected-only ways up buildings are marked with symbols. These can be climbed and used for ambushes, especially with the Infected immunity to falling damage

Xbox 360 version

The Xbox 360 version of Left 4 Dead has different game modes from the PC version — co-op (2-4 players), online death match (2-8 players) and Co-op versus (4 versus 4). The game supports split screen and system link play.[9] Also, the quick key voice commands have been removed in favor of the Xbox Live headset

If I don't get a 360 by the time this comes out I'll be hitting up Steam for a copy of this.

Looks very interesting.

Looks very cool, if it's not very expensive I might get it for PC.

Hey Grist and Flunkie, do you guys have Steam accounts? If so PM me your e-mails so we can get some CS or TF2 going.

They have some competition, zombie panic source is tons of fun for the PC.

In fact...as great as Left 4 Dead looks, Zombie Panic Source has served as a great source of enjoyment for me the times I have played it. The obvious perks are that in ZP:S the humans play as zombies, so you see some interesting strategies. It's also tons of fun to be working with 16 other people, which I have seen. It's just a very social and fun game to play.

Yeah, I Steam, but I don't play TF2 anymore. But my account is Canyarion, if it helps. :)

I hope its not like George Romero's City of the Dead cause that game sucked!!! It does look like it.

There will be a playable demo. Yay.

Re: Left 4 Dead
 
The demo will be out on October 31 (halloween or so I've been told). Who's going to play it? Would be nice to get some games going. :)

I'll be playing the PC demo.

KillerGremlin 11-03-2008 02:18 AM

Re: Left 4 Dead
 
This looks far more enticing than Fallout 3,. I still think they need to make a game with slow zombies though...zombie panic source was a lot of fun because the Zombie's had speed limitations, it kind of evened the playing field. And, the reality is in a real post-Apocalyptic world ammo is not going to be easy to find. I want a game like Romero's Dawn of the Dead, one where you have to use your environment and improvise to survive.

But, left 4 dead still looks like a lot of fun. Might as well post this intro video they just released:


Angrist 11-03-2008 03:27 AM

Re: Left 4 Dead
 
Looks like they had to delay the demo. :(

By the way, I don't see myself paying €45 for this.

I don't either. It's a mod. Albeit...a really well developed, polished, and epic mod...but a mod. I plan on picking it up sometime during or after the Christmas holiday season. In the mean time I have school and other things to keep me distracted.

I have to say though, if its quality is on par with Counter-Strike and TF2, then it will be a blast to play and will have tons of replay value.

BreakABone 11-07-2008 01:09 AM

Re: Left 4 Dead
 
Well the demo is out on PC and 360.
Not sure about PC, but I know 360 you need a special code for.

Right now playing single player since my Xbox list either doesn't have it or is busy playing GoW 2.

Angrist 11-07-2008 03:03 AM

Re: Left 4 Dead
 
Did you preorder it? That should be the only way to play the demo already.

Poor naive Angrist.

To think I do anything by the book.

But no I didn't pre-order.

Nor did I. It's mad fun, though. There's nothing quite like 4-player zombie busting action.

Angrist 11-08-2008 02:35 PM

Re: Left 4 Dead
 
I'm afraid that any 'unofficial' demo downloads will interfere with my Steam account... Can you shed a light on this?

I think I'll just wait till the demo is on Steam, so I can play it with buddies.

They have Left 4 Dead billboards in downtown Chicago in the Ohio/Grand area (by the Rock and Roll McDonalds/Hard Rock Cafe/Rock Bottom/Pizzeria Uno, etc). The billboards are really cool.

Earl was nice enough to give me a code. This is a fun game.

It's for public download now anyway.
Installed it, haven't played it yet.

Whoa.. I never ever play sports games that don't feature mascots or is branded with wrestling.

If you ever seen NBA 2k9 or Madden 09, its my brother borrowing my harddrive when I'm at work.

I have been busy playing Gears however. ;)

Played the demo. Was fun. I assume it gets harder every time? Because this was too easy.

I bet it's way more fun with some friends and headsets. (I have a headset, but I don't care much about talking to strangers... and nobody else used one.)

Edit: Dolby surround sound REALLY helps.

Did you turn up the difficulty? Because expert is certainly not easy.

Amen to that.

Angrist 11-12-2008 06:11 PM

Re: Left 4 Dead
 
I did 2 quick matches, which were supposed to find people with similar skills. I assumed it would automatically notch up the difficulty too. I think I read that somewhere, months ago.

uber_paddler 11-12-2008 06:25 PM

Re: Left 4 Dead
 
Well if the AI Director notices that you and your comrades are kicking some serious ass it will increase the difficulty a little, but you have to manually adjust it to see any major difference.
